NGK BKR6E OR NGK BP6ES which one is right?

Post by Mulisha »

Hi

I have a turbo TB42 on straight LPG wanted to run colder plugs repco gave me the BKR6E just wanna make sure there the right ones. As the NGK said to run BP6ES for a colder application.

Thanks

Rick.

If they are both 6's they will be the same heat range.
Be carefull going a colder plug they can be temperemental at idle. I went back to standard BPRES6 in my 3.0L turbo LWB and they were fine even on 12psi. Maybe close your gaps down a little.

Cheers mate

The only reason i want to go colder really is becuase of the LPG i did run duel fuel but now straight gas and a turbo..

the gaps are ment to be 0.8 not sure what i should go down too..

I brought some new Top Gun LPG leads ment to be good shit and also got a high intensty coil to go with it

I think they are both equivalent, but the one with R in the name is a resistor plug. Doesn't make any diffence other than stops your radio buzzing with engine speed to to EMI. (electrical noise)

LPG requires more voltage for an arc to initiate (NGK technical handbook shows voltage requirement graphs) so if your ignition is good then you can keep near std gap size, but it is well known that gap size has zero affect on power. Too big a gap however and the ignition system will break down somewhere and you will get misfiring. The more boost the worse it gets.

If NGK suggest BP6ES then I would opt for BPR6EY.

You have the added protection of the resistor which does protect electronic devises.
And the plug also has a V in the electrode which helps to produce a fatter spark.

A BPR will be dearer than a BP. Group 2 v's Group 1 pricing. (usless info)

Should be ok Rick.

From memory K designates the nut size.

E & EY are both V electrode.

Thanks guys alot !!

I put them in with a gap of 7.6mm and on the plug said NGK "R" and it had a V groove .. And Weeksy ur right about the size of the plug as my old ones were big and the new ones i have to use a small spark plug socket..

Thanks

They come preset at 0.8mm so 0.76mm would be right.

The ground electrode would have to be straight to achieve a gap of 7.6mm

yeah lol it's .76mm as i had to tap them down a little..

Mine were very werid looking can get a pic but later if they don't sound right but they looked very dry and almost rusty :? :? :? :?

Rick..

And yes this is around the electrode and that ring..
